Who is Jane Roe? Who is Mary Doe?

When reading Roe v. Wade, take a look at page 271 of the Paulsen book. The authors give you a short biography of Jane Roe (Norma McCorvey) and her incredible journey from pro-abortion activist to pro-life activist.

The Paulsen book does a nice job discussing Roe v. Wade on pages 270 to 278.

Mary Doe (Sandra Cano), the Plaintiff in Doe v. Bolton, decided not to have an abortion "once she felt her baby kick." She communicated this to her lawyer, but since her case was a class action her lawyer went ahead with the case anyway. See Clark Forsythe's book, Abuse of Discretion at p. 94.
